6.
Do you have China domestic sales rights ? |
|
|
Yes. However,
owing to WTO and corresponding reduction of import tax of finished products,
the saving to |
|
|
produce
the product and directly sells in China locally vs paying import tax of
finished product is diminishing. The |
|
|
advantage
is gradually going away. |
|
|
7.
Do you provide turnkey and design (ODM) services ? |
|
|
Certainly.
For ODM product, since we are not a pure design house, the design capability
is a "service" to the |
|
|
customer,
we want the MP order which follows instead of just sell the design. |
|
|
8.
Who owns the IP of the design ? |
|
|
The customer
does. Full set of dwg, softcopy both mech and electronic will be passed
to the customer after the |
|
|
design
is completed. In return, since the customer owns the design, they need to
pay for the design costs too. |
|
|
